Parents cutting their hands so their children can drink their blood

Why have the Yzidis been persecuted by the Muslims for a thousand years. Ace of spades has apparently been researching the matter. Here is an excerpt of his report:
The Yazidis have been persecuted and slaughtered by Muslims since the 12th century for their alleged "demon worship." Their religion is syncretic and includes both ancient pagan nature-gods as well as Zoroasterism and the god of the neighboring monotheistic religion (Allah, I mean) as well as, oddly enough, Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.

But one of their ancient gods -- actually, not a god, but an angel beneath God's command -- is a Peacock Angel, and the Muslims claim he's "Satanic,"* and so these people have been chased out of the cities and forced to take refuge in remote mountains, harassed and killed for one thousand f***ing years all because of a Peacock, and now they're going to be butchered even up there on their shitty, no-one-else-would-live here mountain.

* Why is he claimed to be Satanic? Because the Yazidi myth of this Peacock Angel comes within striking distance of the Satan story, but with important differences.

The Peacock Angel was proud, as peacocks are, so proud, in fact, that God punished him, by, I'm guessing, sending him away from Heaven for a time.

But the Peacock Angel repented, and was allowed to serve God once again. In their myths, God assigned the Peacock Angel the task of being the watchman over creation.

Or something like that.

As you can see, the "rebelled against God" is somewhat close to the Satan story, and Satan has certainly been depicted as a prideful angel, ergo, the Peacock Angel must be Satan -- even though, in their religion, the story is completely different. The Peacock overcame his pride (see Thor) and now serves again as an angel.

So over this point of religious disagreement, these people have been harassed and forbidden to live in Muslim cities, and now are being buried alive in mass graves, and are so famished that parents are cutting their hands so that their children can drink their blood (which does contain protein and water, but this method of keeping your kids alive can't last forever), and will in all likelihood be slaughtered en masse.
